The event took place in the Mass Mutual Center’s Ballroom. DevelopSpringfield is a nonprofit group that works on redevelopment and revitalization projects in the city. This is the organization’s 4th year hosting the fundraiser.

DevelopSpringfield President Jay Minkarah says, “It’s really a great opportunity for us to celebrate all the great things going on the city of Springfield, to put a spotlight on our organization and all the different programs and projects that we have going on.”

Some of the current projects include bringing a new grocery market in the Mason Square area and redeveloping the area hit hardest by the November 2012 gas explosion.
